We are snowbirding all winter on the road with no toad. I'm giving the "no toad" life an honest try to determine if I really need to tow something. We rent a car when we need it (turning out to be weekly) and next spring when we get home, we'll have an honest discussion about the cost and hassle of renting vs. towing something.
I'm anticipating that we'll decide to tow next time, so I'm taking an unofficial poll of what people are towing as I drive down the road and walk the RV parks I'm in. By far, the majority of toads I've seen are either a Jeep of some ilk or the CRV.

In fact, that's the key to the whole thing and should be asking yourself if it's your pick or at least will do, for an everyday driver and not just for a toad, per say.
